Wales now have a new superstar winger available for Word Cup selection despite Welsh teams missing out

Wales rugby league superstar Regan Grace has confirmed his switch to rugby union in a move which could pave the way for a call-up to Wayne Pivac's team.

The St. Helens winger will switch codes later this year to link up with Top14 side Racing 92 at the end of the current Super League season, opening up the possibility of a Wales call-up under Pivac. Since making his debut for the Saints in 2017, Grace - who would be dual-qualified with his father from England - has proven to be one of the code's deadliest finishers.

In 138 appearances for the Super League giants, he has crossed for 86 tries. However, the 25-year-old, who hails from Port Talbot, will now try his luck in the 15-a-side game after signing a 12-month contract with the Paris outfit.
